JUST IN. *From Sanusi Lamido Sanusi Fb Wall*

This is what I have been saying. Fine, it is wise for the government to tell people to stay at home as it is the best move to curb the spread of the virus, but the question the government should have asked themselves is "how many Nigerians have enough resources to feed themselves for one week without working?". It is a very big question. A larger percentage of Nigerians rely on the income they make today to feed tomorrow. You have asked these people to abandon their businesses and stay at home for weeks without playing your role as a government to enable them stay at home. I am fully in support of the stay at home policy but it would never work if the government does not step in to provide for the people while they are staying home, at least in the smallest possible way. Even I can not stay at home if there is nothing there at all for me to eat.

America asked people to stay at home but they didn't just leave them, they have been crediting them with over N500k each, even to non citizens. Now that we have asked our people to stay at home just like the US did, why can't we also give them money like the US is doing?

Well, I do not blame the government, we are the ones failing ourselves. We are the reason people who are incapable are in power... We the youths are the cause of our misfortunes. We are the ones who queue to vote our forefathers in the name of being devoted to a party, we are the ones who help them to snatch ballot boxes, we are the ones who do mass thumb printing for them... We are clearly reaping what we have sown. I hope that 5k you collected during election is still with you? Hold it tight, you will need it most now.

A nation that does not have a data base of its citizens, a nation where any black man that has crossed the border can get a voter's card, national identity card and even benefit from community programs as we don't know who our citizens are. Many people in Lagos speak Yoruba but are not Nigerians, do we know them? Capital NO. Many others speak Fulani but are not Nigerians too, do we still know them? Big NO.

Even in this modern age, children being delivered in Nigeria are not being registered in any national data base so that in the next 100 years, we can have a nation that knows all its citizens. Can't you see these forefathers doesn't have a plan for our unborn children, they are still focused on stashing cash for themselves even at a time like this and it is so disheartening.

We will eventually win this fight against Covid-19 and 2023 would come, and they would come back to you with salt because dem think say you be goat wen dey lick salt, if you like use your head then.

Only we can change the story of this nation, it is high time we saw beyond party based politics.

The lockdown is getting tougher by the day...coronavirus scare and hunger, I don't know which posses a bigger threat in Nigeria at the moment.
You may be marveled that some persons in this country may not mind coronavirus for food if an opinion poll is conducted today, it is not a death sentence after all... Most average Nigerians are already out of stock, talk less of very low and daily income earners.

Boss Mustapha will be the next to take the position.

under normal circumstances d SGF is supposed to be a bigger portfolio than chief of staff

'All persons that die of coronavirus will not be released by the federal government for burial ' minister of health. I hope this will not be a special case to avoid the further spread of this virus, because in Nigeria d laws has never been d same for everyone.

OK2NVME:
It was a honest mistake. I was thinking of Ali's pardon.

Sorry.

Then delete or edict the post

Take your pardon joor, after arresting, detaining and torturing the most performing gov then (Ambrose Ali of Benadel state), with out proper trial. You are coming to pardon him after several decades of his death. What for, amnesty for dead people?

APCNig:
Good. Buhari should borrow more and build more infrastructure. The next government either PAP or APC is coming to loot. Now, crude oil is $20 per barrel, the incoming looting governor will have no money to loot, the government will be repaying the debts that Yar'Adua/Goatluck/Buhari acquire while the citizens will be enjoyinh the infrastructure built by Buhari with the loans.

Below are Buhari's project that I have seen with my two eyes.

1. Lagos-Ibadan Expressway construction
2. Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan Railway construction
3. Oyo-Ogbomoso Expressway construction
4. Apapa-Oshodi-Iyana_Oworo Expressway construction
5. Kaduna-Abuja Railway construction
6. Ajaokuta-Itakpe-Warri Railway construction
7. Remodeling of several Airports which PDP left to rot away.

Now, list projects done in PDP's 16 years of looting.

Surprisingly all d project u mentioned were all inherited from d PDP, and they are still ungoing for almost 5 yrs now. If you have traveled Abuja-Okene-Benin-PH in recent time u will weep for this country. Finally, are u sure these projects will be completed by this administration? bcoz more borrowing is expected to complete most of them.

ddippset:
At least he didn't dole out monies for spiritual cleansing and for sharing to obas.

is it not even better to loot and share than to loot alone

Was Naira Marley the only guest that attended the party? Nigeria Police....

What do you expect of them when they are fighting people with more sophisticated and modern weapons. You people should either allow them resign or provide better and up-to-date weapons.

na wa o, pmb has spent well over a quarter of his days as president travelling. this seems like a record dat will be difficult to break.

Following.....

madridguy pls comment noww. which one b following again?

There is no new tax policy of the government as regards personal income tax. The PAYE rate is still the same so, there can't be additional deduction from police officers salaries.

if there's no new PAYE rate in the country, it means the IGP, AIG budget and Accountant Gen of d Fed shd know a lot abt dis

There have been a serious uproar among the ranks and file, officers and civilian staff working with d Nigeria police force as February salary has been grossly debited with huge deduction by IPPIS in d name of Fed govt new tax policy.

Yes huge disaster because of d fact dat people are already complaining dat salaries are no longer enough in dis (Buhari) regime and require upward review, but all they could get is huge deduction is dis fare APC. imagine deductions as high as 10k, 20k & even >30k, how can we survive dis? please affected personal share ur experience, mine was 23k. what do we do? Also is dis new tax policy also affecting other civil and public servants?

Na wa o

el rufai knows how to place himself in a vantage position, combination of tact and northern politics. imagine saying buhari is not electable then, but today he is singing that he is a buharist.

KevinDein:
Kanu did worse than arewa youths.

Anyways, nothing is gonna happen.

KANU is already facing trials, same shd be applicable to d area youths

MalcoImX:
Oga d man na scammer. Real freedom fighters don't rule out anything.

why not go back to d video and listen again

probably this is d reason they are not disclosing d nature of his ailment to us. in my opinion this is pure spiritual problem, pmb shd just confess his sins and atrocites to Nigerians and repent. his healings will be so miraculous.

why not arrest KANU himself? instead of punishing those that dat admire and idolize him. I may be corrected have they broken any Nigerian law or police code of conduct?

good development and congrats to d gallant soldiers

to who na?

quite inspiring, but are u also sure that this Same Oba of Lagos will accord the Oba of Benin the required homage if your historical analysis is true? because to me he appears too proud and arrogant.

if true this will further confirm the true position of anti corruption fight of this administration.

i wonder why is taking efcc so long tracing and naming d owner of this money. or atleast tell Nigerians the owner of d apartment d money was found.

southniyikaye:
Wike said if the money is returned,it will be project galore.
He is surely high on some weed and burukutu.
How many projects has he executed?
They way he is even claiming the money is funny.very silly way of claiming money.

are u talking about Mr project himself? I think wike has tried in d area of projects so far. however, manar of claiming d money is poor.

intelligently written speech. kudos to whoever is d speach writer. with Jonathan's return to active politics, maybe PDP is about to bounce back to reckoning.

Pierohandsome:
playing gud football does nt translate to being the best,after all arsenal does.Leave them with a brilliant team like chelsea,and remove referee's blunder and see how the game will end.

who is Chelsea na to come pack bus play 10 man defense and get lucky winning we dey talk here. pray hard make Barcelona catch u soon .

congratulations to d new CJN. hope PMB will like this o.

congatulations, but are you sure president Buhari will like this?
